GSP teaches one of the most valuable lessons of life. Bravery is not the absence of fear. It’s the presence of fear, but the fortitude to push through it.

“I do not encourage you to go without food for forty five days” - uncle Chael with the wisdom

No advertisement and still no clearer on where Kevin Lee fits into this..... Thanks uncle Chael

No Advert Chael, I was looking forward to hearing your new favourite flavour of magic spoon!

I feel like Justin is another one who loves it with his whole heart

I asked a carpenter if you liked doing that, he said "no, I am just good at it".

"Doesn't matter if you like it. What matters is that you did it." Not what you feel or felt about it. This was a much needed message for society today. Thanks Chael.

GSP was fighting in the Mario Yamasaki ERA. Anybody would be scared.

Chael didn’t like fighting yet went 49-0 undefeated and undisputed, that’s my goat right there

Bet he wouldn’t had been scared if he had the sleek/compact design and protection of a ridge wallet

I believe Mike tyson said in a interview he would get scared leading up to a fight.But once he was in the ring he felt like a god.What a beast.

Me: I've likely heard Chael tell me this story before. Chael: Okay fine.

gaethje is the only guy who talks about loving the war and I believe him 100%

“On a Saturday in an outfit you’d rather not be wearing” 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

If he keeps talking about the Bible we'll have to start calling him Father Chael

"I SEE HOLES IN GSP RETIREMENT" KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV 2021

Gsp: I don’t like to fight Also Gsp: Alright I’m back!

Can anybody imagine chael recording a video with a selfie stick cutting his grass 😂

Doesn’t like to fight. But he loved to COMPETE!!

"Know thy enemy and KNOW YOURSELF; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated." Sun Tzu It's not weak to be afraid, anxious or worried. It's human; especially in stressful situations. It's being honest with yourself. Props to GSP for being open about it.

"WATER IS WET, FIRE IS BUM AND JONES TEST POSITIVE" GSP

I think what Chael is trying to say is “Discipline equals freedom”

What he does like though is Aliens, woomens and palaeontology.

I don't like fighting either. It makes me so nervous that I almost throw up and it tires the hell out of me. But I still cannot resist doing it. It's going out of your comfort zone. It's never fun. But once you finish you feel great

I like people like George and Daniel who are open and honest and do not try to put on a fake attitude.

Was scared the largest arms in westlin Oregon were gonna come for him

Excellent perspective! Thank you for sharing.

legitimately good lesson in this video for every person alive. thanks, Chael - you really are like the uncle everyone needs

George is a well-disciplined animal. Excellent points and great video! Thank you!

bigggg facts chael!! The Lawn mowing snd feelings comparison as so perfect

Thanks for the wisdom Chael

Always providing good videos. Thanks for insight.

mike tyson has said on several occasions that he was scared going into a fight

GSP vs Khabib. Ref for this fight? Tony Ferguson who won’t promise not to get a few licks in as well.

This is a brilliant take by Chael. GSP is the true GOAT and these guys should follow his blueprint

Lots of truth here. Thanks Chael.

Thanks Chael I needed to hear that.

Definitely needed to hear that at the end, have been procrastinating with my college work lately. Cant get that degree without doing shit I dont want to, period.

Chael has a good memory. Has anyone acknowledged this?

Love your videos Mr. Sonnen!

I really enjoy your podcasts, Chael. You have a great memory, very intelligent and honest.....I also think Mike Tyson is just as honest as GSP, having publicity said that he was always nervous before a fight, and never actually liked fighting as well....I am also sure many fighters feel this way.

Got a great point at the end, we are asking youth what they wanna do instead of telling them to just do anything

The way i prepare my mental in a fight is not thinking about any narrative and just think that there's this guy trying to hurt me and i can't allow it to happen

Brendan Schaub has been saying he was scared out of his mind before fights for years. Give the man some credit and he'll take you to the nearest taco truck.

I never liked living it’s just something I do. Thanks for the guidance George

I’m really confused who is disliking these videos. Is it you Jon? Is it Tito?

This is the best fighting talk show ever!

I think an important thing to mention is he likes practice and likes martial arts, he just hates the actual fights.

I believe that Nick Diaz said something similar.

Chael: Have some mean street coffee. Me: Ok Grande

George has stated he hates fighting but it provides him the ability to be a martial artist for a living so he sucked it up and did it

i totally understand and agree with what hes saying towards the end. I wrestled in Ohio for about 12 years. and i hated every second of it. it was torture. Running miles before school everyday and cutting weight and yada yada. Man i hated it back then but im sure glad i did it. i dont regret it at all. i think i just hated the fact that i had to beat my body down so bad and never be able to eat and stuff.

This topic has been beaten to death with GSP. THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Chael “It’s Just One Of These Things” Sonnen ..truly undefeated I was listening like it was a Joey Diaz ear beating. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fighting, feels good.. Hurting someone bad. it hurt too..

I was always in a constant state of thinly veiled fear right up until the first couple minutes of the fight

1) Cus d'amato used positive affirmation/hypnotism to get Tyson to a place of just being the fighter. Thus in the ring he wasn't Tyson, he was just the fighter 2) He was bullied before he became a boxer, so the orgasmic reaction that he says he gets from fighting is likely a response to being the one doing the hurting. Therefore for him there is this relationship between fear and overcoming fear. I think all fighters have some example of this. Courage is not the absence of fear, but conquering fear. Did you see the positive affirmations that Usman was using before the Burns fight?

Thank u good uncle chael

Absolutely! He was always nervous, he's a competitor first though.

"They took those toys away from him." Lol that is awesome

Gsp is great in action movies. I wish the best and possibly of a lead role one day for him.

Chael so what's your thoughts on Dominic Cruz post fight interview about your good friend Hans Molenkamp?

So True words

Great story pal.

I totally encourage you to do anything you feel you are big and bad enough to do...but I get the message.

Lol, this is makes me think about me stretching - don’t want to 😂😂😂

Videos like this is why he's UNCLE Chael.

I have the opposite opinion of wrestling as Chael. I hated most of wrestling, I hated practices, I hated the nerves before a match, I hated waking up for tournaments, the only thing I liked was the thrill of actually being in a match and the feeling of winning of course

He thinks of fighting as more of a chess match than a fight.

George also said he’s scared of aliens...

Gsp is intellectually on the next level.

Some fighters that come to mind who love to fight are the Diaz brothers, Jorge, and BJ Penn. very interesting video

The only fighters I've seen that seem to love the conflict are Vandi Siva and Chuck Liddell. But i could be wrong, i don't know these guys. But Vandi especially seemed like the kind of guy who went walking in the woods look for a bare to fight for lols.

I love this. I'm an artist. I don't like drawing. I don't like painting. If I think about it, I think about how long it's going to take, how likely I am to mess up,how much prep I have to do to organize all my shit, the sheer concentration necessary to not get up and do anything else. But if I just shut the fuck up, sit down and start putting down a line or stroke then I think maybe I can do another. Then another. At some point I forget that I'm sitting alone staring at a page. I'm turning nothing into something and I get more and more excited watching that something take shape. I think this is how all creative or challenging goal-oriented endeavors work. Fuck how you feel....just do! You never know what's going to come of the simple act of doing if you can just get past all of the initial thoughts screaming at you not to. Inertia is a motherfucker but you can overcome it.

True.

I would like to see mike tyson interview brock Lesnar

Got it. It's like a kid at Christmas...but the opposite 🤣

Mike Tyson literally said he was scared before every match. Chael you’re lit again lol

It takes more strength/courage to do something that scares you than it does to do something that excites you

GSP is peaceful man , Good at fighting ....never liked to fight ! Self Defense was the origins !

Thank you! Too many people these days won't do anything if it's going to be hard. Soft and cuddly doesn't win a damn thing! It doesn't build character either. -Biggest arms in Milwaukie Oregon

Gsp: I don't to fight, just the winning

He always said this. Not something very odd to hear though. I wish I could see the Goat in action just one more time though.

I swear I always see something on Instagram then I go on KZfaq and cheal always JUST posted a video on it

1:01 what's that he knocks off the chair arm?

I always wondered why I liked playing Kingdom Hearts so much when I was weight cutting. I guess it is sort of a high.

Yes, everything about fighting sports is amazing except for those minutes where you actually have to fight and can't stop fighting until the time is up or the other guy is smashed (or you are).

Uncle Chael... the philosopher

Man I just saw that you fought John Jones....you got balls of steal to do that...mad props and yes there's plenty of us like me who just thought you were a cool bad guy inc. Love the talks and sponsors...

Many of the great fighters...from boxing to MMA...many of them dont like fighting. They just do it cause they are good at it and make good money

tyson talked about his fear in the locker room

Uncle might have titled this "Georges St-Pierre did NOT like to fight...", but I'm going to chalk this one up to "Another Matt Lindland story..."

I mean, I would love it too if I was undefeated and undisputed like Uncle Chael.

What about the brick breaking elbow rule?

...Knowing Chael Sonnen was out there in the wind waiting. ;o)

6:20 - such an important point 7:20 - " "

It's an amazing sport to watch, but I sure as hell would not do it, lol.

Chael's right. Wrestling off teammates who wanted to shave my head taught me a lot about life

I mean it's pretty obvious no? He's one of the few that went into retirement gracefully. A lot of these guys refuse to quit because they love fighting so much, and their record suffers. GSP for sure liked competing and intellectually dominating his opponent tho. I don't think it was really about having a great time dishing out damage like some other fighters.

I got news for you, doing something you don't like is the very definition of Discipline.
